Biden: Mubarak's resignation 'a historic day'

Biden spoke more than an hour after Egypt's vice president, Omar Suleiman, announced that Mubarak had stepped down following more than two weeks of massive protests throughout Egypt.

Biden made his remarks as he appeared with Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell at the University of Louisville in McConnell's home state of Kentucky.

The vice president noted that Democrats and Republicans have spoken with one voice about Egypt's path to democracy. He said it is especially important that such bipartisanship continue "in these delicate and fateful days ahead."
